if you want real justification, a 1/3 of the year my car handles like ass anyway because it has snow tires on

And with a 2.5i, you'll have the other 2/3rds of the year covered.  I see what you're saying.

exactly ... if...

a=1
b=-1/3
c=0


then

a+b+c obviously equals c

All the discussion is irrelevant if you drive the car and you like it.  At that point, who gives a fuck what we think?

Have you driven the 2.5i?

not yet... with subaru's record sales, the dealers are wiped clean of interesting unimpreza's.  I've just sat in a couple to get a feel for the interior and cargo room.



...and a 2.5i would be supplimenting the rx, not replacing it  ;)

Why not get a Cute-ute? More traction, and ground clearance to get you out of trouble.

Wait, it snowed over there, but it didn't snow over here? I'm only 300 miles away from you on just about the same latitude line.

That reminds me, I was caught in the snow with my crappy Pirellis last weekend.  They suck in the snow.  I need to mount up the snows soon...

"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

I got wheelspin on the highway today.  In third.  In rain, not snow.  I can't wait for the white stuff to start falling.
